PitSnipe (Kyle): Wow, I have not heard of this issue. 15 hour job for a $50 part is nuts. Hopefully someone that knows of this issue will speak up.Yesterday at 12:42:16 PM

downs44: Got an 06 that just went through SMOD. Got everything replaced. Now my low oil pressure light is flickering on after the engine warms up and the truck is at idle. Doing some digging on the forums it looks like a common problem is the rear timing cover gallery gasket leaking and causes the symptoms. Looks like a 15 hour or so repair for a $50 part. Was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and any words of advise. To save some dialogue, the oil pressure sensor is about a year old and I changed the oil and filter after i noticed the light and that did not fix the issue.August 11, 2018, 05:31:19 PM

downs44: Hey! Newbie here. I met some of you guys at the F2GC event this weekend. I was with the mountain rescue group. Did not have my X up there due to some mechanical issues. I need some input and was wondering which forum I should put my questions in.August 08, 2018, 07:45:12 AM

Topic: Members Product: Drop-in Basket (Read 16774 times)

Just got my drop-in roof rack for the X from the member Whattha on here.

Great guy to deal with and an awesome product from him. It comes bare steel, which means you can paint it whatever color you want.

My rack needed to have rear light holes, clear the locking wetbox handle while also clearing my goib ladder when the hatch is up. Nik makes the basket as big as possible. You don't need to separately order an extension part or anything. Measure twice, cut once.

Basket also comes with holes already drilled so all you need to do is pick up the hardware from a store and a drill bit to drill the holes in the two roof rails.

Almost bolted it down here, it did a good job keeping my stuff together. (During the 40 mile ride home)Cleaned, Primered and paintedInstalled with custom mount for Hi-Lift. Hopefully this mount will work out.

Yea a couple of guys that have purchased a basket from me have done shovel mounts. Pretty easy addition really. Yes I do charge a little bit more for a lift mount. It depends on what you are looking to do exactly. HBIII just bought the hardware for his high lift and it mounted right to the rack. As for the tire question, the rack can handle the weight no problem, I would just need to figured out how you wanted it mounted.
